"Synaptic Encoding of Time in Working Memory", Mongillo & Tsodyks 2026
https://elifesciences.org/reviewed-preprints/107005

"we propose that detailed temporal information about a novel sequence can be rapidly stored in WM [working memory] by short-term synaptic plasticity over multiple time scales."

Synaptic Encoding of Time in Working Memory

PhD opportunity in "The role of neural development in multimodal intelligence" with me, @marcusghosh and Flor Iacaruso. Read details below 👇.

Note there's a very short window for applying (deadline Feb 27).

UK candidates will be given preference unfortunately because of the source of funding, but it is open to all.

Finally published with David Angulo Garcia:

A theory for self-sustained balanced states in absence of strong external currents
@PLOS

Dynamical balance can be obtained via nonlinear mechanisms without the need of strong external drive: short term depression act as a new balancing mechanism. The complete theory is here reported.

With the death of Twitter is the loss of years of cool papers. Let's start again #Neuroscience! What paper are you most proud of? This isn't my biggest or most cited, but the one I 🥰 most: https://www.jneurosci.org/content/35/8/3616

I found a type of gamma in CA1 that didn't involve PV baskets or PYRs 🤓. This is the only paper where I did absolutely every recording, cell drawing, analysis, etc and wrote every word. It was leftover data from a Nat Neuro paper (https://www.nature.com/articles/nn.3538) where we were only interested in OL-M cells. I had a hunch that there was more in there, so went digging...
